the remarkable manifesto he has recently
published, in which he appeals to the Mon

BEFORE DEATH.

How much would care for 1t, could know
That when am under the grass or snow
The raveIed garment OF life's brief day
Folded and quietly laid away,
The spirit let loose from mortal bars,
And somewhere away among the stars
What praise was lavished upon me. when,
Whatever might be its stint or store,
1t neither could help or harm me more.
If, midst OF my toll, they had but thought
To stretch finger, would have caught
Gladly such aid. TO bear me through
Some bitter duty had to do;
And when it was done. had but heard
One breath Of applause, one cheering word
One cry OF "COur0gs!'" amid the strife,
So weighted for me with death or life
How would it have nerved my soul to strain
Through the whirl Of the coming surge again
What use for the rope, il il be not flung
Till the swimmers grasp to the rock has clung?
What help In a comrades bugle blast
When the peril OF Alpine heights is passed.
What need that the stirring pean roll
When the runner is safe beyond the goal!
What worth is eulogy's blandest breath
When whispered in ears that are hushed in
Death!
No, No! if you have but a word Of cheer,
Speak 1t rhike I am dliue TO hear!
From Mrs. PrestOn's "COlOnidl BdlLdds."
